Junior Commission in New York
A delegation of 9 Junior Commissioners is travelling to New York on Tuesday 1 November 2011 to take part in a 5 day programme of activities focusing on the future of energy consumption and how to change behaviour. This is the first time the 2011 Junior Commission will meet in person and will provide the basis of their work looking at the future of energy.
They will be meeting with academic, governmental, NGOs, commercial and community groups involved in energy, climate change and sustainability which will provide them with an intensive and broad introduction to research, policy and activity within the energy field.
The delegation will also be attending a lecture with Baroness Amos, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, at BBC Worldwide, New York.

Final Preparations for New York Delegation
As final preparations are made for the Warwick Junior Commission study visit to New York this weekend, it's worth taking stock of what we can expect from the trip. It will be full of learning, incredible experiences and, we hope, more than a little fun.
